Interface Design for Web App (RIA) -- Adobe Flex / Coverflow (iTunes)

We're looking for someone that's used to design software such as Adobe Flex, Microsoft Silverlight, Curl and similar, to help develop a new interface for a Web App.

Please see Deliverables section for more info.

## Deliverables

We're looking for someone that's used to design software such as Adobe Flex, Microsoft Silverlight, Curl and similar, to help develop a new interface for a Web App.

We're looking to replicate this type of design:

1 BBC

The scrolling images on the right (with the Musicians) are what we are trying to recreate, using the Coverflow type interface, that was popularized by iTunes.

The interface doesn't even have to be fully functional (at least initially) as we're just using it to make a "Proof of Concept" video that will demonstrate the layout for the interface of a new RIA web app that is being developed.

This will need a quick turn around and this part of the project should be pretty quick and easy for the right person. There's some useful resources at the sites listed below.

If you're comfortable with these technologies, and can replicate the look of the BBC interface (above) then get in contact with examples of related work, availability, deliverability, bid estimates, etc…

We would like someone who appreciates how simple this is and doesn’t have to do much learning on the job.

Here's a decent tutorial on designing a Coverflow interface using Flex, WITH full working files ready for Copy N Paste, etc… Really takes all the legwork out:

Everything you need to create the coverflow graphic (code, etc) is on this page. I would do it myself but I don’t have time right now.

And here's a great example of using the Coverflow interface with Videos (as opposed to still images):

………………………………………………………………………………………….. BONUS: Opportunity to develop a close, ongoing relationship doing similar work and taking this project to the next level.

N.B.: PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT SEND GENERIC RESPONSES. CUT AND PASTE RESPONSES SENT WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING THE STATED REQUESTS WILL BE DELETED (and we might even take to spamming you too ;-) Thanks for your understanding, there's just a lot of stuff to weed through when companies start replying without even reading what you need them to do.

1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.

2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):

a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment.

b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.

3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (for GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. all copyright ramifications must be explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).

We are willing to be flexible in our relationship with you as you are with us. Sellers will complete a small test project upon the completion of which we will re-negotiate deliverables and payment terms. This is also negotiable on a case by case basis.
